Here's a quickie to get things rolling...
http://members.cox.net/sheepchase/actionwip.jpg

I want to do less of a character portrait and more of an action scene. I'm going to do a really elaborate environment for this one, possibly a city under attack. I'll try to get those sketches done in the next few days. :buttrock:
Feedback welcome as always!:beer:

An updated sketch with a concept of the city:
http://members.cox.net/sheepchase/insectcitysketch.jpg

I would picture this as an environment/character for an RPG. My goal is to make the architecture influenced by insect forms/patterns. I haven't worked out much else yet as far as plot. I'm not really a huge fan of writing the story itself:hmm:

Sel: Thanks! Congrats to you, too!:beer:

:surprised Is she grabbing those swords? At the moment I'm not to sure if she is or isn't. Looking very Fantastic. Ugly looking vermin appearing. COol!

Thanks for the replies:applause:

OZ: lol!:D Yeah, I would like to do something really involved with the background on this one. Maybe make the scene more of/equally as important as the woman. :beer:

Gamoron: Yeah, she's grabbing the swords. I think my sketching could be kind of hard to read for others beside myself...it's always so sloppy!:shame: I think it will become more apparent once I start coloring.:beer:

Wonderful concept, will be realy fun to see how those drooling monsters turn out :p

Does the pic flow better if you mirror it?

Thanks Alice!

Does the pic flow better if you mirror it?

Do you mean to check for errors? Or actually duplicate this half and attach to the other side to make the painting larger?
Thanks for the reply:beer:

i mean, the whole reading from left to right, also looking at a picture that way, so if just flip it horisontaly would actually make the action flow a bit faster?
I dont know, but on the other hand, that is easily made later on to check :)

C´mon milady! We´re waiting for your colors to come!

(pd. I read about your second entry, my restiveness is appeased. But not for too long :D )

Thats a pretty elaborate sketch.
You should be busy for a while painting and rendering it.
Looking good.:airguitar

Gamoron

06 June 2003, 01:57 PM

Oh yeah! The only thing I want to crit is that at the moment she doesn't pop off the page, she's lost in the other lines. I'm sure you'll fix it with the colour.:thumbsup:

man i love your style!

wildsheepchase

06 June 2003, 06:42 PM

Rey: Thanks! Hopefully the coloring doesn't take too long!:wip:

Gamoron: Yeah, she'll pop more once the coloring starts. However, I was kind of interested in the city being almost as much as a focal point as her. I guess we'll see how it turns out.:D

An update:
http://members.cox.net/sheepchase/insectcity1.jpg

This is still in the underpainting stage, but should give a pretty good idea of the basic color scheme. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to finish this month. Lots of stuff going on:banghead:

Rey

07 July 2003, 05:43 AM

You can do it.
Just do it more painterly and loose in the background.
With just a suggestion of detail.

:shrug: Well, if you have time.
good luck
